O2 UK Postpay MMS / Internet APN settings

[me_and]

So I have an Android Developer's Phone (basically an already unlocked T-Mobile G1/HTC Dream with a few other tweaks), and an O2 contract. As you may or may not know, O2 have different settings for contract and prepay customers, so jusumgeezer's settings don't work.

What do work, however, are these:

NAME        	O2 UK Postpay
APN	                wap.o2.co.uk                  
PROXY	        <Not set>
PORT	        <Not set>
USERNAME	O2wap
PASSWORD	password
SERVER	        http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk
MMSC	        http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk
MMS PROXY	193.113.200.195
MMS PORT	8080
MCC	                234
MNC	                10
APN TYPE	<Not set>

Note that these are the only settings you need. Other than this, your APN list should be empty. In particular, you don't need separate settings for MMS and everything else. I've sent and received picture MMS messages using these settings, I've browsed the interwebs, and I've listened to Last.fm, so everything seems to be working as best I can tell

So, if you have a contract with O2 (O2 also calls them Postpay or Pay Monthly accounts), try this. They're based off jusumgeezer's settings which I linked to above, the settings on my old phone that worked, and a more than bit of experimentation. There may be other configurations that work, YMMV, etc. etc..

Nice post,
Interested in seeing if I could manage to get it down to just 1 APN for payandgo too....???
It just never seemed to work putting it all in one, but I'm gonna give it a go cause putting it separate is so bloomin time consuming!!!

Hi there,

Just got my G1 this morning and I'm on O2. I put these settings in and everything works perfectly except for one thing.

I can't seem to send MMS messages. I can receive them fine, but they always fail when sending.

I haven't tinkered with APN settings in a long time so I don't know what to tweak, any ideas on what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance,
Rob

Hi
Are you on contract / Pay as you go / Simplicity ??
There are slight changes to the settings for each.
The settings provided by me_and in post #1 only work for O2 Contract (postpay)

If you are on contract use those settings, if like me you are on payandgo then use my amended settings below:

NAME	O2 UK payandgo
APN	payandgo.o2.co.uk
PROXY	NOT SET
PORT	NOT SET
USERNAME	Vertigo
PASSWORD	password
SERVER	http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk
MMSC	http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk       
MMS PROXY	193.113.200.195
MMS PORT	8080
MCC	234
MNC	10
APN TYPE	NOT SET

It may take a while for the mms to kick in properly, if you entered everything correct then just give it a bit more time...

I think for Simplicity sims post#1 sould work, or if not try changing the APN mobile.o2.co.uk
still a bit of a grey area on this one i'm afraid.

Thanks for the response,

I'm on contract and am using the settings at the top of the page. As yet, i still can't send MMS - it sits in 'sending mode' for a while (little envelope with clock icon on it to the side of the message), then eventually I get a sending failed message.

Just so I'm not going insane, I'll check the settings again and re-send a message. They must be correct though as everything else that relies on the APN works fine.

Very puzzling

Just confirmed that the settings are indeed correct. I'm totally at a loss now, no idea what the problem is

Ive been having the exact same trouble with G1. Im on simplicity contract. My browser and Google maps works fine but cannot send or recieve MMS messages. Any help would be extremlly appreciated.

[jusumgeezer]

been having a bit of trouble with mine too lately, I can recieve but not send.


Just added 8002 to the end of the server & mmsc so they both now read " http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002 "
I can now send & receive fine on payandgo

[jusumgeezer]

Here's a rundown of the MMS settings for a pay monthly handset from o2 forums, seems like they are using 2 setttings... for the iphone at least anyway

for internet:

APN: mobile.o2.co.uk
Username: vertigo
Password; password

for MMS

APN: wap.o2.co.uk
Username: vertigo
Password: password

maybe you could try a combination of the two with the other settings mentioned above??

the "mobile" version seems to be the most quoted for simplicity

Just tried that on mine and it seems to have worked, although now the Android Market is a bit temperamental, hoping that's just the Market being down though, we'll see.

"A server error has occurred. retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen".

I can persist and eventually get through, so surely it must be a Market-side problem...
